APPOFTHEDAY

[Android]

Today it's Runtastic. I've already bought it from a sale a while ago but for those who haven't. Don't really use it but it was pretty cool when I did.

Download app
Go to app settings
Go to tab 'Enter Promotion Code'
Enter 'APPOFTHEDAY'

Don't remember if it was $4.99 or $5.49. Well the App of the Day app tells me it was $5.49 but I remembered $4.99.

FAQ:

Q. Yada yada something about a 10 days trial yada yada?
A. It's got to do with a special membership on the website that allows you to use 15 extra features that you don't really need. You should just ignore it, imo. If you're interested, click here to read more about it.

Q. Will I be able to keep the upgraded version if I uninstall and then reinstall the app?
A. I'd assume no. However I'd also assume that if you backed it up using Titanium Backup, you'd be able to keep it.

Q. My app doesn't say it's Pro!?
A. It'll only unlock the features of the Pro version onto your regular version (it'll still be the regular version, just with the Pro features). After you activate, you may need to restart the app to see changes.

Q. The code is not working or I'm getting an error when activating?
A. It needs to make a connection to the servers when you activate the coupon, so you need to enable data (Wi-Fi/3G).

    So we need to download the Free version of Runtastic and enter the APPOFTHEDAY somewhere in the app? I'm having trouble understanding.

      EDIT:

      Added instructions to OP.

  • c0balt on 12/04/2013 - 12:00

    Worked great for me, thanks! Also it was showing as $5.49 in the Play Store for me, so quite a good freebie even with the 66% off Telstra Sim credit for buying apps ;)

  • rickb on 12/04/2013 - 12:04

    Tried this on my iPhone and it didn't work. Is this for Android only? If so can you please update the title.

    • eDust on 12/04/2013 - 12:10

      Same. I get "Code Valid! 0 Features unlocked"
      Doesn't look any different after unlocking 0 features.

      • rickb on 12/04/2013 - 12:12

        That's been my experience. Valid code buy unlocks on Android only?

    • zelda707 on 12/04/2013 - 12:11

      yep android only

      PS

      All Iphone fans, You can also use the Hide from Listing above to permanently banish all Google Play deals from ozbargain.

      Bear in mind that this will also blockout any decent Google tablet deals that come around on Google Play.

        Thanks for this, I have used it to hide any Apple deals as I don't have any iOS devices. Very handy.

    • Yanoflies on 12/04/2013 - 12:39

      Yup it's Android only, sorry for not clarifying, forgot to!

      A mod updated it for me though, thanks :).

  • illumination on 12/04/2013 - 12:30

    Yay for Android finally getting apps that go free for a day!

    • salem on 12/04/2013 - 13:24

      well to be fair, amazon has been doing it for a while on their android app store. US regionlocked though, so required some trickery to use.

  • giventofly on 12/04/2013 - 12:45

    Cheers OP

  • Kamsi on 12/04/2013 - 12:52

    Finally, Android apps on Ozbargain :)

  • violentpanda on 12/04/2013 - 12:59

    Entered 'APPOFTHEDAY' but not upgraded to pro, still runtastic

    • giventofly on 12/04/2013 - 13:06

      Have you tried restarting the app? Worked fine for me.

      • violentpanda on 12/04/2013 - 13:12

        I just checked the name still runtastic, but it shows the pro function already activated, does this mean it already upgraded to pro without name change?

        • giventofly on 12/04/2013 - 14:43

          The app name doesn't change ;)

    • jazoom on 12/04/2013 - 13:09

      It doesn't actually change the icon, if that's what you're referring to.

  • dealman on 12/04/2013 - 13:02

    Tried em all, , but I prefer Endomondo,

    The best thing about Runtastic is the street view play back of the run in Google earth.

    • Kamsi on 12/04/2013 - 13:09

      What so special about Endomondo?

      • dealman on 13/04/2013 - 07:24

        for me it was better social integration with FB and network effects because many friends had endomondo already,

        Easier to compare and compete. Also a little bit is just subjective I guess. Runtastic came around later endomondo was around long before on offers.

      • udyz on 13/04/2013 - 16:26

        For me… just managed to hack Endomondo Pro (on SGS2 with recent vodafone JB update)to accept ANT+ usb dongle(Garmin)…
        Now i can use HRM and foot pod….

  • Diogenes on 12/04/2013 - 13:09

    Worked for me - thanks OP.

    So now I have yet another training app: now have CardioTrainer Pro, Endomondo Pro, and RunTastic Pro - one of these days I swear I'm gonna train regularly enough to warrant having ONE of them.

    Fact is the training app I use most often is the one that never fails to sync to my Polar Wearlink Bluetooth HRM… namely HRNavi by T Miyanaga. All the rest drop the link - a circumstance that totally licks donkey sphincter.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2013 - 16:07

      Your mobile device must have issues somewhere. I'm still kicking a HTC Desire (with custom roms) and haven't had trouble connecting my Polar bluetooth HRM to it. And any time it doesn't connect before an activity, it has always been a depleted battery (tested with multimeter numerous occasions).

  • tsunamisurfer on 12/04/2013 - 13:10

    Does one have to log into this app or have an account to go to PRO?

    • Kamsi on 12/04/2013 - 13:14

      I believe you to sign in with your email account or facebook.

      • justtoreply on 12/04/2013 - 13:52

        Dont think so. I skipped that, went to settings and put in the promo code. Whether it will survive uninstalling/reinstalling I dont know.

  • nghori on 12/04/2013 - 13:13

    I get "Redeem Promotion Code Failed: The service is not currently available (maintenance). Please try again later."

    I use RunKeeper after trying many apps about a couple of years back.

    • tsunamisurfer on 12/04/2013 - 13:38

      Yeah I get this as well….Wifi or roaming data.

      • nghori on 12/04/2013 - 13:58

        3G. Will try Wifi later

    • jazoom on 12/04/2013 - 14:06

      Strange, no matter what I did (including phone reboot) I couldn't get it to work. When I turned off Wi-Fi and tried over cellular it finally worked. I couldn't log in/create account over Wi-Fi either.

  • ripsa on 12/04/2013 - 13:48

    Worked for me on wifi..

    cheers

  • TheAviator on 12/04/2013 - 13:53

    nice find, thanks!

  • ripsa on 12/04/2013 - 13:53

    I have signed in and it says "Your Trial GOLD Membership will expire in 10 days." :(

    1 Year runtastic GOLD best value $ 2.99 $ 2.07* (-30%) monthly $ 24.90* Annualy.

    So it is just for 10 days?

    • thangcuoi on 12/04/2013 - 14:44
      +1

      The 10 days is for the website Premium membership, nothing to do with the app Free/Pro status.

  • halfrabbit on 12/04/2013 - 14:12

    Has anyone tried reinstalling one of these apps which are unlocked with a code before? I.e. if I reinstall cyanogenmod and start afresh, is there anyway to keep the app unlocked or to backup the unlocked state?

    • Yanoflies on 12/04/2013 - 14:39
      +1

      I'd think if you backed it up using something like Titanium Backup, you'd be sure to keep the Pro. Not sure.

    • mily on 12/04/2013 - 16:03

      This is what I am thinking, as essentially we are installing the free version with Pro function activated by a code limited in a short period.

  • Kelalako on 12/04/2013 - 15:04

    Worked fine for me, thanks OP!

  • bylife on 12/04/2013 - 15:43

    it is sad cos not able to install on my samsung galaxy sII I9100 with Jelly bean sys.

  • Click_It on 12/04/2013 - 15:49

    This is a good app, I got it for $1.99 or 99c previously on sale. Worth every cent. For free it's even better! :)

  • mily on 12/04/2013 - 16:02

    Just wondering, after entering the code, will the Pro version showing purchased in Play store? If I uninstall the program and reinstall it later, can I install the Pro version for free?

    • Yanoflies on 12/04/2013 - 16:52

      Nope. I don't think so. It's just the regular version with unlocked Pro features.

  • RocketSwitch on 12/04/2013 - 16:06

      using 3G Data, problem solved.

      • LongJohn92 on 12/04/2013 - 16:46

        I've tried 3G and WiFi. Still no dice.

  • czking on 12/04/2013 - 16:48

    restart the app or the phone, and try it again

  • Yanoflies on 12/04/2013 - 16:58

    Added some frequently asked questions/concerns to the OP.

  • DaaC on 12/04/2013 - 16:58

    1. Download from above link to my phone using 3G network

    2. Opened the app and notice "GO Pro". Click the app settings and scroll down to Enter promotion code " APPOFTHEDAY"

    3. It requested to restart the app. When restarted no "Go Pro" option.

    It works

    Thanks OP

  • cruise control on 12/04/2013 - 17:15

    Thanks OP. I was wondering why my app didn't say "Pro", until I read your FAQ

  • pennypacker on 12/04/2013 - 17:32

    Thanks, worked for me. I'm going to sit on my arse now until I see a free motivation app.

    • bizi on 12/04/2013 - 18:48

      Maybe incorporating clearance-sale shopping? :D

  • giggles on 12/04/2013 - 18:00

    Man, running with my 10" tablet is gonna be awkward

  • bizi on 12/04/2013 - 18:44

    Thanks, I just downloaded it, set it up, opened settings from the top-menu icon and put in the code.
    It worked. :)

  • browser on 12/04/2013 - 19:18

    Does that mean if you re-install in the future it will not be a pro? The code will not work by then.

  • IdBuyThat4aDollar on 12/04/2013 - 21:44

    Hows this compare to runkeeper?

  • tsunamisurfer on 12/04/2013 - 23:57

    Frustrating no matter what I do I keep getting the "The service is not currently available (maintenance)" issue.

    • ployer on 13/04/2013 - 11:05

      I'm having the same issue.

  • VirIIx on 13/04/2013 - 11:44

    Thanks for the post, paid for this back on iOS and didn't want to splurge when I transitioned to Android awhile ago! Worked nice and easy, the Go-Pro disappears and all works well!

    For peeps without TiBackup, you may also opt for Carbon which doesn't require root access to back-up :)

    • daydream on 13/04/2013 - 22:05

      Carbon "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." Darn Android variations. Why can't they just associate the purchase with your account like iOS.
      Any other backup app options please as I can't root my work Android phone? Thanks

  • bamzero on 13/04/2013 - 12:13

    Thanks. coincidentally have been trying to find which of these tracking apps I like best recently.

  • mily on 18/04/2013 - 14:47

    I got an email this morning reminding me: "Your FREE GOLD Membership Trial expires in 2 days!", what does this mean? I don't remember signed up any gold membership from them yet. Hope it doesn't mean the Pro functions are temporarily activated, I haven't started to run at all.
